xonicole Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 104 fishing guild used to be like my second home. Years ago, it used to be a really friendly place. I met most of my friends there and it made 99 fishing seem like a breeze. Once all of my friends left to pursue other goals, the next "generation" moved in. As time went by, people started becoming more impolite and juvenile. "I bet you're fat.""You're a nerd, you have a skill cape." I'm now at a point where I can't even step into the guild anymore, because I simply can not stand it! But it's not only the fishing guild, it's basically everywhere I go.Anyone else noticing this trend? <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizz Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Reverse for me :/I was just doing a Bloodveld task and this lv 130 comes and does a task to. He ask me how many I have left, I told him I have 20 left (I was there a good hour) and he got angry because I have less than him! Then he told me to fight like a man and not use range with safe spots... Wongton is better than me in anyway~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 There are actually people that try to insult or argue with you on Runescape? You either must be really unlucky or are just ranting for the sake of it! :blink: In my 1 1/2 years of Runescaping, I have never, ever met somebody that tries to insult/argue with me. Ever. My homeworld is even World 1, the world full of all those people that hang around in Lumbridge Castle just randomly chatting. :rolleyes: BlogTrimmed | Master Quester | Final BossBoss pets: Bombi | Shrimpy | Ellie | Tz-Rek Jad | Karil the Bobbled | Mega Ducklings120s: Dungeoneering | Invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that still doesn't help explain him not meeting any trolls. I personally troll on world 1 rather frequently. / I guess it depends how you act. Certain people attract certain people.

Sir_Squab Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 People get jealous or annoyed at people on the internet easily. It's very common for people to, say, insult higher levels saying they are a no life nerd or something, simply out of (sub?)conscious jealousy. Or they feel superior to you because they are a higher level. Or they're just annoyed at you for living; more importantly, living at a resource or monster they'd rather have to themselves. Or they're just using the internet as a way to vent their frustrations. Or they're immature. Or any combination thereof. My signature is an awesome description of this kinda stuff :P Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Me_Hate_Libs Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, earlier I got called "lucky" because I was in the cooking guild using the bank to cook fish. When I replied that it wasn't luck and that I had earned the right, he said i'm a "no-lifer." Yeah, that's a great insult. Anyone who knows my stats would know that I should be a lot higher considering how long I've played. Me having a life has gotten in the way of my having high levels.

Sevestia Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Aye. Seems no matter where I go, someone tries to insult me or start an argument with me. :unsure: Last time I went to Soul Wars, some guy about 20 levels lower than me started attacking me, then since I attacked back, started calling me a noob and said he was going to post screenshots to prove what a noob I am for attacking lower levels. :mellow: Um, what? Then I get random people calling me nerd/noob. It's exactly why I pretty much always keep public chat off. [hide][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star. Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 There's always an argument at the fishing guild haha. I've not been involved in many 'arguments' or whatever. Though recently I got cussed for logging onto a world to chop ivy. I hadn't even moved from my spot. I do hate it when people brag about how popular they are in real life though. That stuff doesn't make you cool. I'm not going to turn my chat off though. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saunamajuri Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Whenever someone uses the word nerd on me, I reply:"If you think that I am an intellectual badass, then so be it." :thumbup: "An Amateur practices until he can get it right. A Professional practices until he can't get it wrong." Quests just keep bringing me back to this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you're coming from, and I agree; however, it's just unbelievable to me how immature people can be. I don't take their insults seriously, because I know they don't know me personally. I tend to just ignore them these days, but it's becoming a problem when you ignore multiple people a week.I thought this game was 13+? <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noble_aloof Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I've noticed this. and while i've always beleived that high levels have the right to put lower levels in their place, there are so many lower levels who think they can speak down to higher levels. i'll admit it though, i call people noobs when: they come (after me) to a secluded or individual training spot and they dont leave. this especially annoys me when they have lower levels/ worse gear they said ridiculous things in pvp. in pvp i never tend to call people noobs.. only when they say "dm" and then run or they pj me and dont expect me to use my anti pj mechanism (broad bolts ftw) [size="5"][font="Georgia"][b]Staking:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#FFFF00"][/color][color="#00FF00"] 4+ mil[/color][/font] [font="Georgia"][b]Current Status:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#0000FF"] Training defense [/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_R Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I notice it in most of the places I go. In fact it's the reason I stopped pking years ago, I can't stand the attitude of most pkers (not all of them but most). Normally when you win a fight it ends with the other guy dieing and saying something like "gf nerd nice safing" or "nice prayer noob"(even though they pray also). Then there's the case of you losing: It usually involves something along the lines of "gf sad noob" or just simply "gf kid". Btw can someone explain to me how kid is an insult now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysonholiday Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I always see it everywhere. People just go around with this cavalier attitude. It irritates me sometimes more than other times. Younger and younger people play, the game gets bigger and lower leveled players get membership, all combining to create the current state of the community. Right at this moment on RS someone asked to borrow my shield multiple times, I said no and he called me a "noob". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4ylan Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I knew there was a problem in the community when I got a pretty little message saying 'Your ignore list is full"I decided to delete a few people; and some guy I don't remember at all Pm'ed me saying I'm a noob who should fall off the Earth and die...it's even worse that he doesn't know about gravity. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just let those people insult me and respond with a "lol". But since I now only talk to people that can actually start a good conversation, I don't hear insults that much. The game is in fact 13+, it's just that certain people in the age range like to act immature. Either it's for teh lulz, or they seriously are that [developmentally delayed]ed. :mellow: Remember: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. ;) BlogTrimmed | Master Quester | Final BossBoss pets: Bombi | Shrimpy | Ellie | Tz-Rek Jad | Karil the Bobbled | Mega Ducklings120s: Dungeoneering | Invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
